life on the path

It takes 10,000 hours to master an activity. What comes to mind is the joke—How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.

I believe this is true of life itself. It takes practice. So I did the math. It would take 38.6 years to master life working 5 hours a week. Ouch.

With this in mind, and with no time to lose, I am sharing my hard-earned tips, tricks, hints, hacks, and happiness habits from my life on the path. And I hope that you in turn will share yours with me.
